  Understanding Shoe Size Variations Across Brands The Challenge of Consistent Sizing When shopping for shoes, one of the most common frustrations is the variation in sizing between different brands. Even with the same foot length, the recommended shoe size can differ, making it tricky to find the perfect fit. Comparing Shoe Sizes Across Brands We conducted a study comparing the recommended shoe sizes for different foot lengths across the shoe brands Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, New Balance, Asics, Vans, Puma, Sketchers, Salomon, On Running and Hoka.
